Ink

Synopsis: As the light fades and the city goes to sleep, two forces emerge. They are invisible except for the power they exert over us in our sleep, battling for our souls through dreams. One force delivers hope and strength through good dreams; the other infuses the subconscious with desperation through nightmares. John and Emma, Father and Daughter are wrenched into this fantastical dream world battle, forced to fight for John's soul and to save Emma from an eternal nightmare. Separate in their journey, they encounter unusual characters that exist only in their subconscious. Or do they?

What happened to you?

F***!

F***!

F***!

We don't have much time...

Tick tock, this man got rocked...

I have an appointment.

My assistant was supposed to reschedule.

She didn't.

Better call her then.

Mom said you're not allowed

to reschedule with me.

Please, just this once.

Don't be a putz.

Putz?

I worked 80 hours this week. What did you do?

Come on Dad, we don't have much time!

We have to build a wall so the monster doesn't

break through!

What ever happened to tea parties?

Don't little girls have tea parties anymore?

You dig the moat.

Dig the moat before the monster comes.

It will slow him down.

Can't your mom dig the moat when she gets up?

I'm not really prepared for any kind of...

...moat digging.

Hurry up, we don't have much time!

Emma.

I just don't do this... okay?

Your mom can play these games with you,

okay?

I've never been any good at this anyhow.

You can do this Dad.

Oh no!

What?

It's coming! It's too late for the moat!

Get down Dad!

Ah! It's got me!

Ah! Save me Dad! Save me!

He's pulling me into his cave!

He's really ugly Dad!

It's got me. Come on save me.

Get away from her you big a**hole!

Get 'em Dad! Get the bastard!

You mess with my daughter, you mess with me!

Fort! Fort! Back to the fort!

Get down! Get down!

You did it Dad! You got 'em!

Hey...

When did you start saying... bastard?

28, 37, and 53.

So good luck to everybody out there who played

last night's lotto...

Dad?

I thought you were gone.

I went to your funeral.

No, no, no. I'm here...

I'll always be here for you.

Bingo! Bingo! Bingo! Bingo!

It's bedtime Princess Moomba.

It's time to get your beauty rest.

Your majesty has blessed the land with your

beauty today.

But it's quiet now and the journey will continue

tomorrow.

The rebels have infiltrated the base!

Bam! Boom!

Sir Lawrence, Sir Lawrence!

Send in the cavalry quick!

Sir Lawrence? Sir Lawrence?!

What happened to you?

No!!!

Why?!

Why?!

Whhyyy?!

He was so young!

Emma? You're not in there playing are you?

That's a very convincing snore, but you'll have to

turn your light off young lady.

Thank you.

Good night Grandma.

Good night sleep-talker.

Help!

She buys her friends.

She bought that body too.

Stop!

Stop talking about me!

Stop!

Stop it!

Stop it!

You idiot!

You idiot!

- How could you be so frivolous and stupid?

- Hello?

You're just like your father!

He was an idiot too.

You're disgusting! You're disgusting to look at!

Even your own children are embarrassed to be

with you!

I made a mistake the minute I met you!

I should have known what a loser you were

gonna be!

Unemployed and penniless!

Someday I'll find a real man.

How many nights are you going to do this?

This has got to stop.

You can't be absent all the time.

You have a whole other life...

You can't change that now.

... that you are forgetting.

No! No!

Grandpa!

Grandpa!

Grandpa!

No, the girl!

Go get the girl!

Help!

Well, it's one of the most anticipated IPO's of the

year.

Apollo Systems, the market leader in the

emerging technology of mobile delivery systems

will be choosing a lead underwriter sometime

this week.

Word on the street is that Hannaway Capital,

VanBuskirk Black and Company...

and Hamilton Partners are all in the front-

running for the bid.

It's going to be quite a beauty contest and we

imagine one of these firms will emerge with a

registration statement sometime soon.

David... do you...

John!

No, not this morning.

Please Roger, I hate that look.

I hate that pants-shitting terror look.

What is it man? I'm not going to kill you.

- You know you are gonna survive the morning.

- We're in a serious crunch here John.

We're never in a crunch Roger, ever.

Word is that Apollo is leaning toward Hamilton.

Hamilton came in last night and they low-balled

the fee down to six and a half percent.

- Hey, hey, hey!

- What, what?

- Six and a half percent John.

They snaked us early.

Hamilton? On the Apollo...

- Are you talking about the Apollo account?

- Yes!

- Hamilton did six-and-a-half on Apollo?

- They came in and they low-balled us.

Where did you get this?

Carl's contact.

Yeah.

- Who the f*** let them do that?

- It's anyone's guess.

You know personally I thought it was a little bit

too far fetched, but then...

F***ing bucket shop!

Apollo wants Hamilton?

Hamilton couldn't find a fat man in a county fair.

F*** Hamilton, f*** em.

They want to win the bid on a percentage play?

- They're gonna have to do better than that.

- John...

- Good luck!

- Sorry.

This is desperate, I know these guys all too well.

This is a desperate f***ing move.

Listen Roger.

This deal falls through this morning...

and I will kill you with my own bare hands.

One... two... three... four

One... two... three... four

Hello dirt. And how are we today?

Nope.

Don't have the face of a fighter do we?

You're Jacob?

My name's Allel.

I'm told I'm suppossed to assist you. You're able

to help with the girl.

- Who was taken...

- Wait.

You're the one who got your ass kicked.

- What?

- Yeah I bet that doesn't sit too well with you.

'Course a good ass kicking doesn't sit well with

anyone.

Are you mocking me?

Real sharp too aren't ya.

I get it! I get it! I'll play along!

You don't want word to get out do ya?

- What word?

- About your ass kicking!

Yeah no one knows you're actually a priss.

They're all fooled, but...

you really are a priss.

Is it your policy to let adorable little girls

disappear into the night?

- That's enough!

- Ohhh!

Cord has been struck...

Do we have a guilty child neglector here?!!!

There it is!

The fighter!

Just had to be sure you know.

'Course she's roughing up the handicap, but

who's counting?

We meet again!

Look, is this a joke?

Do you actually have a purpose or do you just

talk trash?

You lost the girl right?

- No I didn't lose the girl!

- Sure, sure she was kidnapped.

There's still time...

before all is lost.

You have a way to track him?

Hell no and who wants to? Remember he

kicked your ass.

We'll go around the other side. We'll find the

physical girl.

- And do what?

- Shake the sh*t out of her!

Shake the sh*t out of her!

We'll wake her up.

That's just great!

Last time I checked there's no way to physically

affect them unless you're a...

you're a pathfinder.

Ow!

Help!

Help!

Help me!

Please!

I need help.

I have a delivery.

My key was broken.

Are you a failure Ink?

No.

Because failure is not an option with us Ink.
